      Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
       "Several fixes to the DSM (ACPI device specific method) marshaling
        implementation.
      
        I consider these urgent enough to send for 4.9 consideration since
        they fix the kernel's handling of ARS (Address Range Scrub) commands.
        Especially for platforms without machine-check-recovery capabilities,
        successful execution of ARS commands enables the platform to
        potentially break out of an infinite reboot problem if a media error
        is present in the boot path. There is also a one line fix for a
        device-dax read-only mapping regression.
      
        Commits 9a901f54 ("acpi, nfit: fix extended status translations
        for ACPI DSMs") and 325896ff ("device-dax: fix private mapping
        restriction, permit read-only") are true regression fixes for changes
        introduced this cycle.
      
        Commit efda1b5d ("acpi, nfit, libnvdimm: fix / harden ars_status
        output length handling") fixes the kernel's handling of zero-length
        results, this never would have worked in the past, but we only just
        recently discovered a BIOS implementation that emits this arguably
        spec non-compliant result.
      
        The remaining two commits are additional fall out from thinking
        through the implications of a zero / truncated length result of the
        ARS Status command.
      
        In order to mitigate the risk that these changes introduce yet more
        regressions they are backstopped by a new unit test in commit
        a7de92da ("tools/testing/nvdimm: unit test acpi_nfit_ctl()") that
        mocks up inputs to acpi_nfit_ctl()"

      Pull libata fixes from Tejun Heo:
       "This is quite late but SCT Write Same support added during this cycle
        is broken subtly but seriously and it'd be best to disable it before
        v4.9 gets released.
      
        This contains two commits - one low impact sata_mv fix and the
        mentioned disabling of SCT Write Same"

      Pull ceph fix from Ilya Dryomov:
       "A fix for an issue with ->d_revalidate() in ceph, causing frequent
        kernel crashes.
      
        Marked for stable - it goes back to 4.6, but started popping up only
